For those wondering what this place is like, I can speak on the Fort Worth location. We have annual passes and go at least twice a month. It is in a mall that is almost dead, so very few stores left. The attraction itself is pretty low rent as well.
My 10 year old twins love to go because you can actually feed and interact with the animals, but I would not go myself without the kids. Also, be aware that you pretty much cannot do anything without buying tokens, so you are going to have to spend about 20 bucks even with the free admission. So bottom line, if you have kids, do not mind spending about 20 bucks on tokens, and do not mind the less than stellar conditions of the mall and the attraction, then go for it. If you are only going once, I would recommend spending the money for some premium interactions as well.
I know that is not a ringing endorsement, but my kids do have an absolute blast every time we go. Just know what you are getting into. If you come in with the right expectations, you can have a really good time. If you do decide to go, be sure to check the website for any premium attractions you want to do. You'll want to reserve those in advance. And yes, those also cost extra. Even with some premium attractions, you will probably spend a maximum of 2 hours here as it is not very large.
Las Vegas has a Pogo Pass, and this was part of it last year. Although we got free admission with the price of the pass, you can't really do anything exciting without buying the expensive tokens. Also the Las Vegas location is fairly small - it is inside an unassuming mall
Last time we went the place was disgusting and the animals were more miserable than normal. There were a few dead animals as well. Hard to wanna go back even with free tickets. We even have a bunch of tokens we will never use.

Not sure about the other locations, but the one NJ nickel & dime you for everything. You want to pet the animals, that would be 5 tokens (or whatever it was they charge). Not just sea life they have either so tends to smell. Have to say, will not go back there again. Only reason went there b/c of the free tickets from last year's deal.
Ticket page asking to pick a date, is this ticket non-expiring one or just valid only on selected date ?
Thanks
Wondering the same. Last time around you did not need to pick a date first.
Is there any way to get generic tickets now and pick the date when we actually decide to go?
And by the way, the word "CONSERVATION" does work as a discount code.
free admission is good.
however, the experiences are very subjective for the local rep who is taken you for the different tours.
i have good and bad experiences at CT location, but they are permanently closed, probably thats why .
We found its always cheaper to purchase token locally rather buying the package online.
for most activities, they will ask you to have adults with kids and purchase extra token for the adult.
somehow with the name of Aquarium, i thought its something much bigger.
